Something to ponder folks, a Harvard-MIT student is working on a project that will allow people to sit in front of a laptop camera and have their vital signs -blood pressure, pulse and respiration checked.

The system has proven it can extract an accurate pulse, using a low-resolution webcam imagery. The system works manually or by attaching sensors to the body, he is now working towards measuring respiration and blood-oxygen levels.

For All Those Mothers Out There:

.

I just had to come back and add this little diddy.

While I was raising my children I aways hoped for a bumper sticker that read :

" My child is an honor roll student".

.

I waited for my bumper sticker and the kids never turned one over. All three children went to college for years, and never finished. My youngest is now back in school.

This adorable genius in the video looks , what ? twelve ? and he has put together this medical, useful, incredible device.

.

His mother must be so proud, and I bet she has a bumper sticker printed in gold.

.

Such is life.
